Only when Liu Mei had gone far did Qin Ge slowly withdraw his gaze.
A woman like her—he could crush her with a flick of his hand.
But now wasn’t the time to alert the enemy.
He didn’t want to disturb those two bastards from the Qin Family just yet.
Qin Huanhuan and Qin Zou still had significant roles to play in the future plot. They were highly beneficial to him. They couldn’t know the truth for now.
Otherwise, it would disrupt the original novel progression.
For someone like him, who already knew what was coming, that would be very disadvantageous. As for those photos of Liu Mei’s past as an escort?
Naturally, they were gathered by Qiao Yingzi. He had known about Liu Mei’s background, but didn’t have proof—
But the Li Family did. They had investigated Liu Mei’s past thoroughly, down to the last detail.
To say the Li Family knew every hair on Liu Mei’s body wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
They’d even tampered with many things.
Qin Zou and Qin Huanhuan looked nothing like him, the eldest son, and didn’t resemble Qin Hai at all either.
How could Qin Hai not have been suspicious?
As the patriarch of a hundred-billion-yuan family business, how could he be so stupid?
God knows how many times he’d done paternity tests in secret. Almost every major hospital in the Dragon Nation had secretly tested samples for him.
And the result?
Every single one had been tampered with by the Li Family. False results were altered to seem authentic.
The moment Qin Hai betrayed his mother, the Li Family’s revenge had already been set in motion.
Taking in an escort as a wife and raising two illegitimate children—that was one part of their revenge.
If not for his existence as a grandson, Qin Hai would’ve vanished from this world 800 years ago.
Of course, Qin Ge also believed this was partially due to the meddling fate of the Child of Destiny and the Destiny Girl.
After all, in the original novel, it wasn’t until after he was trampled to death by Chen Yuan that Qin Huanhuan learned the truth.
By then, she felt no guilt at all for helping Chen Yuan.
But now…
He could be far more creative in dealing with Qin Huanhuan. Since she wasn’t one of his people, he could torment her however he liked.
“Yingzi!”
Qin Ge called out toward the hallway.
Qiao Yingzi came walking down the stairs, “CEO Qin, something wrong?”
Qin Ge pointed at the bodyguards lying dead on the floor, “Drag them out and clean up the mess.”
Then he pointed at the sofa Liu Mei had sat on, “Toss all of it. Get a new set.”
Qin Hai might not mind Liu Mei.
But he did.
After giving those instructions, he headed upstairs while sending a message to Lin Xiaojin.
[Location (WickedMap)]
[Get to this location within one hour.]
After midnight, another financial transaction would grant him a Divine Power—[Immunity to All Poisons].
He was looking forward to it and didn’t want to waste time.
Lin Xiaojin replied almost instantly. Clutching her cracked phone screen in bed, she typed, [CEO Qin, I was already asleep zZZZZZ~]
Qin Ge threatened, [Lin Xiaojin, you wouldn’t want everyone in the company to see the video of you stealing, would you?! If you’re not here in an hour, get ready to sign your resignation tomorrow.]
She instantly sent a stream of replies, [CEO Qin, I’ll go, I’ll go, okay?! CEO Qin, I’ve gotten up. CEO Qin, it’s so dark outside. CEO Qin, I’m really far away—I can’t make it in an hour. CEO Qin, can I have two hours, please?]
Qin Ge rolled his eyes and laughed as he lay back on his soft king-size bed, “Are your legs broken? Don’t you know how to call a cab? I’ll reimburse you!”
She replied instantly, [But CEO Qin, I can’t find a cab from where I am. I’d have to walk really far just to get one. Can I make it an hour and a half instead?]
Qin Ge sighed, “Where do you even live that you can’t get a ride? Send me your location. I’ll have Yingzi pick you up.”
[Location (QianduMap)]
Qin Ge forwarded the location to Qiao Yingzi, then tossed his phone aside, spreading his limbs and lying on the bed like the character 木.
It was late at night, and though Yunhai City still had some traffic, Qiao Yingzi’s driving skills were top-notch.
In under thirty minutes, she had picked up Lin Xiaojin and brought her to Yunding Manor.
As she walked from the front courtyard into the estate, Lin Xiaojin and Lin Niuniu looked like they’d entered a wonderland.
It was her first time seeing a villa where people drove cars inside the yard.
Even TV dramas didn’t go that far!
She had known CEO Qin was rich, but she never imagined he was this absurdly rich.
“CEO Qin.”
Lin Xiaojin stepped into his bedroom. Looking at the room that was bigger than her entire house, she swallowed hard and lowered her head nervously.
Qin Ge transferred the money on his phone, then urged her, “Same rules as always—collect your massage fee first.”
Ding-dong!
Lin Xiaojin checked her phone. When she saw the amount, her face turned pale.
“20,000 yuan?!”
She stumbled back a few steps in fear and shook her head vigorously, “CEO Qin, I don’t do that kind of work!”
She didn’t know if 500-yuan massages were proper or not—
But a 20,000-yuan massage was definitely not proper.
A man and a woman, alone together.
In CEO Qin’s home, no less.
Even if she screamed, no one would hear her.
Qin Ge rolled his eyes, “What are you imagining? It’s a monthly plan.”
“Huh?”
Lin Xiaojin mumbled in confusion.
Massages had monthly subscriptions?
Even if it were monthly, shouldn’t it be 15,000 at most?
According to haggling logic, she should’ve offered him a discount, not the other way around.
Why would the price go up?
Qin Ge teased, “What did you think it was? A sugar daddy contract?”
Lin Xiaojin shook her head quickly, “No, no, of course not.”
As she clicked the button to accept the payment, a system notification chimed in Qin Ge’s mind.
[System Message: Wager Agreement II complete. Congratulations, host, you’ve obtained the Divine Power: Immunity to All Poisons.]
Whoosh—
The pleasing sound of the reward triggered made Qin Ge feel euphoric.
Lin Xiaojin really was a precious gem.
This one wager alone was worth more than 100,000 Destiny Villain Points!
Every time he used her, the reward was a Divine Power.
Incredible!
Lin Xiaojin walked over slowly and said softly, “CEO Qin, lie down. I’ll start with your arms.”
Qin Ge tilted his head and looked at her outdated outfit, puzzled, “You’re going to massage me dressed like that? Where’s your sense of professionalism? Go change!”
Lin Xiaojin mumbled guiltily, “CEO Qin, I still need to get home later, and I don’t have any other clothes.”
Qin Ge smirked, “I do.”
He picked up a remote from the head of the bed and pressed a button.
With a mechanical beep, the wardrobe on the opposite wall slowly opened.
Inside were rows upon rows of brand-new outfits, neatly arranged before her eyes.
Sailor uniforms,
Teacher outfits,
Nurse outfits,
Investigator outfits,
…
Everything one could imagine, and beneath the outfits were stacks of stockings— Black, white, gradient, fishnet—an overwhelming array.
